If your 83 has a 305, then the 350 will drop right in. If it has a 700R4 auto trans, you'll want to get an 88-92 700R4 (they were better). If it has the 4 speed manual, the 350 will trash it. Try to get an 87+ WC T5 manual trans.
New seals are gong to be expensive for a T top car, check E bay. Check around on the net for a headliner, they are made of ABS plastic and covered in your choice of material color for around $140.

In that case a 350 will be a bit more work and money, V8 springs, new trans, possibly differential, shocks, engine mounts, and possibly a torque arm if you don't have one...and that's just for starters.
Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do for the V6 to get real power out of it.
